Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between lipid assessment ( total-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerols) and arterial lesions in farm chickens fed on six different vegetable oil varieties (crude red palm oil, industrial red palm oil, refined palm oil, soya oil, cotton oil, and groundnut oil). The following emerged from the different analyses: palm oil, and, to a lesser extent, soya oil and cotton oil, tended to lower the total cholesterol rate whereas groundnut oil increased the rate. Groundnut oil raised highly triacylglycerols whereas soya oil and palm oil had the opposite effect. Red palm oil and cotton oil increased LDL-cholesterol rate whereas groundnut oil and soya oil tended to lower the HDL-cholesterol rate. Moreover, pathological anatomy studies demonstrated that arterial lesions were generally fewer, particularly among chickens fed on palm oil.
Highlights
Atherosclerosis is responsible for the majority of deaths in developed countries, with death occurring especially because of ischaemic heart pathologies and / or ischemia stroke [1,2,3]
The serum triacylglycerols were lowered in chickens which were fed on palm oil in all its forms, cotton and soya oils
The HDL-cholesterol (Figure 1B) was increased in chickens which were fed on cotton and palm oils whereas in chickens fed on soya and groundnut oils, a decreasing trend of LDL-cholesterol was noted
Summary
Atherosclerosis is responsible for the majority of deaths in developed countries, with death occurring especially because of ischaemic heart pathologies and / or ischemia stroke [1,2,3]. In West Africa French-speaking countries, few studies were interested in the antiathero genic effects of palm oil, especially from the experimental viewpoint. It is interesting, in such a context, to study the relationship between lipidic assessment and pathological lesions on arteries of farm chickens fed either on cotton, soya, groundnut or palm oils. In such a context, to study the relationship between lipidic assessment and pathological lesions on arteries of farm chickens fed either on cotton, soya, groundnut or palm oils This species has the advantage of being omnivorous and can develop a spontaneous human-
